Elaine Huizenga

Date of Death: Apr 27, 2019

1933 - 2019

Elaine Catherine Karberg Huizenga, 85, of Waupun, went home to be with Jesus her Lord and Savior on April 27, 2019 after a life filled with countless blessings.

Elaine was the daughter of Fred and Catherine (Newenhouse) Karberg, born on November 16, 1933 in Sioux Falls, SD. The Karberg family moved to northern MN when Elaine was in middle school, and there she graduated from Park Rapids High School in 1951. After graduation, Elaine moved to South Holland, IL where she met the love of her life, Theodore Huizenga Jr. After first spotting Ted at church, and then again at a roller rink, Elaine took advantage of a lady’s choice skate to get to know him. They were married March 10th, 1955 at Bethany Christian Reformed Church, South Holland. In 1965 they moved their family to a home west of Waupun. There they continued to raise their five daughters. Elaine spent her time managing the home and children and was an active member of Bethel CRC of Waupun. After the girls were grown, Elaine returned to the workforce in several capacities including Kelly Temp Services and Kondex Corp. Throughout their years together Ted and Elaine enjoyed exploring this beautiful country as well as Europe, Canada and Mexico. However, their best times were spent holding hands while watching TV. They lived by the motto “We are so Blessed” to express their contentment with the life God had granted.

Sorry to hear about your Mom passing. We had some good coffee times together with Mom – Margaret. Know they are having a great reunion in heaven – all with no more pain or suffering. What a comfort even though we miss them here. Love to you all.
